Dismissed
The Board dismissed claims for increased ratings and a compensable evaluation, as well as earlier effective dates for unemployability and educational assistance due to procedural defects.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to improper docketing under the modernized review system or because they resulted from a prohibited concurrent election.
